Mostly, I would say you are correct. As an example, we had a list member a while back, I don't recall her name, who did exactly that to me. And yes, I was annoyed. However, one must balance ettiquettes sometimes. As well, if you are treated badly in a store when trying to rectify a defective goods issue, it is only natural to tell your friends. Even if the situation rectifies itself to your satisfaction, the amount of hassle required to do it may make that store (or eBay vendor) more trouble to deal with than you are willing to risk. There is nothing wrong with telling people what you think of a vendor, I recall a few times you have lashed out at Wal-Mart. What Shel did is no different in principle than what you have done yourself, and what many of us have done in relation to some vendors. Basically, if you want to be respected, then treat people in a respectful manner. William Robb -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
